Michael Berryman

Detective Pluto

Biography

Michael Berryman plays Detective Pluto in a allusion to “Pluto” in the uncompromising Wes Craven horror film The Hills Have Eyes (1977). Berryman (who suffers from Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, a rare condition leaving him with no sweat glands, hair, fingernails or teeth) reminds one of a latter-day Rondo Hatton who also suffered from a rare medical condition that distorted his features giving him a brutish look just right for horror movies. His role in Hell’s Kitty makes is the only one in his filmography that makes a candid reference to his real world condition.
